- Palladiums Pallabrouse Baggy are perfect hiking shoes fore category "A". They are lightweight, very confertable and look good.
I will give some details about the shoes than testing. At the end my final thought and the pro's and con's.
Enjoy!
5 star field test.... Best review I've ever seen
Great review
I like the design so much as it is a little tactical but not too much and stylish in the same time. Also I like the canvas not the leather version.I think I am gonna order a pair. Thanks for your review
Thanks - I wear Palladium pretty much every day.
These are great for hiking in a park maybe. Palladium is just a fashion boot these days. They are HORRIBLE for real hiking. I used to hike in these in Bieszczady mountains with a heavy ruck and they ruined my knees. The sole is very very soft and it wears extremely fast. After 20 km on the trail you can't feel your feet in this boots. I've put a Polish Army anti-sweat plastic mesh insole to make the sole slightly harder to save my feet. The stitching is bad. Good luck walking early morning through the grass in the valley - your feet are wet at the start of the day after 15 meters. If you get these wet crossing a stream they will kill your feet even more because there are no drain holes so your feet are swimming inside the boot. Also these are very expensive. You can buy a cheap hiking boot for the price and it will be a much better choice. Honestly these are just overpriced 1940's - 1950's french indochina style jungle boots made with shitty materials for big city people trying to feel outdoorsy walking their dog.
I agree with you, they are not good for hiking with a heavy load. I only use them for day hikes with minimal gear. And it depends on your feet and physic. Some people can were them everywhere with have load, most can not. And they do ware out fast. But for me they last at least a few years and for the price I think they are pretty comfortable for what I use them for.
Enjoy the outdoors.

They are alright for light day hiking (10km-15km) in spring and summer if you put an insole in them and don’t have heavy ruck. As for them being like 1950s Indochina boots… well, palladium actually produced those 1950s boots used in Indochina by the French legion lol.
I think they are the best for everyday use, they are not sold for people who want to climb the Hymalaya.
I think lots of new canvas boots buyer don't know that the Palladium nowaday is pretty much different form what they had made up from 80s, 90s until 2000 or 2010. Not necessary for the pair made in France but some I saw made in the developing countries just within the same period but with the same quality. The older, the better. Lots of difference in details that I can't tell in short.
I see the boots 8 year ago in the store glendale USA. Only the desing is very simple. Is very expensive in Mexico. What's the price actually in USA? Please!!! And watched the review. I liked!!!
I can only tell you the price in the Netherlands. US I don't know. But an other viewer might. Hope you can find them for a good price.

Palledium: ooit begonnen als schoen voor het Franse leger! En ja, ze lopen lekker. Voor een iets steviger warm weer schoeisel kan ik je de Amerikaanse jungleboots aanraden.
Zal ze zeker bekijken. Nu heb ik Meindl dessert schoenen (leger) voor mooi weer maar steviger. Die zijn ook comfortabel maar wel wat zwaarder.
Groet Wim
@@traveler5898 Meindl is een goede schoen maar te zwaar. Als militair kan ik u zeggen dat we daar op terug zijn gekomen. Het gewicht van de schoen is te zwaar en tegenwoordig zijn er veel lichtere schoenen die geen zware belasting vormen voor knieën en enkels.. Noorloos in Kaatsheuvel is helemaal gespecialiseerd hier in en wij militairen krijgen daar schoenen aangemeten op grond van de voetstand en lichaamsbouw en zelfs voor welk gebruik. Een infanterist heeft een andere schoen nodig dan een persoon welke bij de geneeskundige troepen zit. Niet goedkoop wel kwaliteit.
Would you say they've got lots of room in the toe box? I hate my toes squished in on regular hiking boots. thanks
yes, plenty for me. I have wide feet and they fit perfect. The Allstars are much narrower. I couldn't walk on those so I tried palladiums. Still use them today.
Greetings Wim
@@traveler5898 Cheers Wim!
Can you water proof them with wax and wear them in snow?
Yes, wax works fine, it makes the canvas a little darker and waterproofs them for a while. In the snow could work but seems a bit too cold. Having said that, they couldn't be further away from their purpose. But with thick socks and a lot of wax you could do it I geuss.

I just ordered craghoppers canvas boots, they look nearly exactly like pallandium
I will look into those, sounds interesting.....
@@traveler5898 i have pair of palladium, so i can compare them
@@zwloki0 Great, let me know what you think.....
They look very identical, and same price range.
@@traveler5898 they are definitely copy of palladium, but what interest me is the materials and quality control
Also i was able to get them size 13
Palladium i only could get 12 witch is just ok with thin socks, but i wouldn't go for a hike without slightly cushioned socks
What’s the name of the color of the ones you’re walking with?
I believe they were dusky green. I don't have those anymore, I have green ones now.
Greetings
whish they made them a bit taller
Hi, I think you mean the size..... In the Netherlands they run up to 47 EU size. Are they not available where you live?
Greetings Wim
@@traveler5898 yea we do have them, i meant the outer soles, could be thicker
@@arncj18 Yes that would make them a bit better for outdoor use. But they would loose flexibility. In my experience the canvas fails before you run out of soles...
@@traveler5898 really? i like the design, and was itching to buy a pair. But i keep holding off. I wish they were a bit sturdier. Not just a bulkier Converse. Probably the original from back in the day was a bit tougher. Otherwise i can't see how they survived on soldiers feet in the war.
@@arncj18 I think you're right. They must have been stronger. Ik use Them fore casual walks and daily use in dry wether.....and occasional hike. I like Them becauae they are Just realy comfortabel.... Good Luck finding the right shoes.....
Greetings
Nice review. Thank you. I especially enjoyed the "field test" part.
